    At this point I would trade Meyers for Tyson chicken.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Still an excellent finisher on the pick-and-roll and rebounder. His defense has slipped, though. He's no longer really an above-average defensive force.

    If he came cheap, it might be a decent addition. He's still in the realm of an average defender and he might help out with leadership on the defensive end.

    Players get younger playing for the Suns.

    Chanlder seems to be a piece you trade for IF you're desperate and delusional (see: Dallas).

    He would be better NOW for the team than say, Meyers or Davis..and the team would probably not regret it if they traded away Meyers (as in, no Jermaine O'neal biting us in the ass).

    All that being said, as much as it would be funny to hear Wook say he'd rather shave off his beard, quit drinking beer AND watch porn with his grandmother than have him on the team, it's a big "meh" type trade.

    Chandler isn't all World defense anymore but he would be the vet voice in the locker room this team needs (also, I'm sure he could teach our young guys a thing or two defensively).

    Looks like he is still rebounding well (3 games with over 20) but if you are looking for a shot blocker he will not give you many anymore.

    Old ass Chandler trumps Meyers now and probably forever. So, I don't think this is any kind of transformational trade, but I'd be OK with it.

    That would be a contract dump for them. We would be doing them a favor. I'd want a 2nd round pick or something else back since they have to take back similar money (or we go into the Lux Tax) and they would be getting a much younger player.

    At $12M, if you could get him for Leonard or Davis and Ezeli would it really matter if he's long in the tooth? None of those guys are likely to be significant players in the Blazers' future. My bet is that they'd offer Davis and Ezeli and keep Meyers.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If it's really a trade for Leonard, it's not a contract dump really, as Leonard has a similar-ish contract. They'd be getting the younger player, Portland would be getting the better player. In my opinion, it would be a favor to us, really.

    Now, if it's for Ezeli, that would be a contract dump and Portland should get a pick.

    Why? What possible long term benefit could we gain from such a move? It's not like he's our missing peace to contender status now, or even a decent trade chip in the future.

    Maybe if they throw in a first round pick and we give them a Connaughton and Layman. (Yes I know salaries don't match LOL)

    As soon as we trade Meyers he'll become the next Channing Frye and people will be really butt hurt.

    I would really like to see how Plumlee looks at the PF position playing with a more traditional center. That will tell us tons about the directions we need to move in during the offseason.

    My big worry is that we trade both Leonard and Crabbe to the same team and they go onto to become the next Jordan and Pippen and we become the punchline in the NBA again.

    That's why we just kill them and their salary comes off the cap. That was my Darius Miles plan.
